Parents received their passports with visas today. The format of PCC worked.

I sent the documents, delivered on Feb 15th. No update so far.

My parents immigrant visa application was denied during the visa interview in Montreal. They received 221g to submit correct format of Canadian Police Certificate. 1) For the interview, my parents took Canadian Police Certificate that said "Type of Criminal Record Check for Personal Use: Visa-Border Crossing, Foreign Travel, Work document". This document was rejected. 2) They obtained police certificate again by following the guidelines given by the visa officer. However, we aren't sure if we got the right format now. Given that risk/consequence of submitting incorrect format document again is high, reaching out to this community to confirm if we have the right format of Canadian police certificate now. Please take a look at the attached latest police certificate and share your thoughts. Thanks

I came to Canada (BC) from USA on a closed work permit, working at one of the tech companies in BC. I am about to quit my job (for personal reasons). My closed work permit is valid for 2 more years. Will it remain valid even if I resign my job at this company? Am I legally allowed to stay in Canada while the work permit is valid? If I don't find another job in a few months, I will move back to US. But I am not sure if I am allowed to stay here and look for another job. I want to look for another job. Do I have an option to convert my closed work permit to an open work permit? What is the process for it? Or is finding another employer and changing to their closed work permit the only option. My wife also is currently working on a closed work permit. Can I apply for an open work permit as her dependent? Wondering if it is better to apply to open work permit by myself or better to apply as my wife's dependent. If I get the open permit as my wife's dependent, will I automatically lose my work permit if my wife loses her job for some reason? Thank you for your help.
